I can only achieve nothing and become the Pirate King.

Chapter 494: There is a difference between having a mouth and having a mouth
A few days later, to the north of the Storm City Palace, outside the huge courtyard, was a vast farmland, where a white-haired young man was hoeing the land.

The sun shines down, illuminating the golden hoe in his hand
Just as Sag himself said, even if he was farming, he wanted a golden hoe!

So, he really took the golden hoe and started farming.

His palace was not originally located in the center of Storm City. When it was later rebuilt, the redundant buildings were simply demolished. The palace was connected to the north of the city, and outside the courtyard was the suburbs.

Later, Sager felt that it was not good to leave this place empty, and it was probably impossible to develop it, so he simply used it to cultivate land.

The seeds are all specialty grains sent from various islands, and each piece of land is planted with one variety.

Of course, he wasn't the only one who farmed the land; he had servants to help him take care of it. He would only choose to farm the land and plant when he was in a bad mood.

For example.
"Damn it, why isn't there a mouth? We said there would be a mouth!"

Sager dug up a piece of land with a hoe, his face looking extremely indignant.

How many days of fishing?
No, he has been fishing for two years in total!
Plus, it’s been almost two and a half years since I started fishing in the East China Sea!

He's been a pirate for two and a half years and became one of the Four Emperors, but he hasn't caught a single fish!

O'Hara basically ran everywhere, whether it was the main island or the secondary island, he even ran to the small puddles, and the only thing he did short of was drinking too much and peeing to catch tadpoles.

What's even more infuriating is that wherever he goes, people often come to make a pilgrimage, because as soon as he leaves, others can catch fish.

Even if he left on purpose, preparing to use his speed to force the hook out, it would be the same. This was Schrödinger's fish. As long as he had any glimmer of luck, no fish would ever come up.

Only when he really doesn't want to fish here anymore will the fish take someone else's hook.

"Fuck it, I don't believe it!"

Sager dug hard with his hoe, then placed the golden hoe upright in the soil, exhaled hard, and said in disbelief: "I'll go get some more bait later, there will definitely be a bite!"

"Sag, what is a mouth?"

Lily walked out of the courtyard, followed by Kalifa.

"Hmm."

Sager didn't even look behind him. He looked up at the sky and said darkly, "This thing is like fishing. It depends on whether you have it or not. If you don't have it, it's a waste of effort."

"?"

Lily tilted her head and a question mark appeared in her mind.

Isn't he talking about fishing?
"Sag, the bill for the three-day banquet has arrived. The total reimbursement for the entire territory is 424 billion Baileys. What should we do with this money?" Lily said.

In order to entertain the new Big Mom Pirates and celebrate the victory, Sager held banquets for three consecutive days throughout the territory.

Work and production were stopped, and people reveled all night long. It was lively, but the price was very heavy.

Bills of billions of baileys
Khalifa, who was in charge of the calculations, couldn't help but get goosebumps the moment she saw the result, but she soon felt relieved. The land was his, so why should he pay?

He couldn't afford it even if he wanted to. Sager was rich, but with such a huge amount, he would probably go bankrupt, right?
Originally, she was going to simply mention this matter to Sager. Since they didn't want to pay anyway, she could just treat it as a daily matter. But Lily disagreed, so she brought the bill and came to ask about it in person.

"What do you mean? Pay, of course." Sager said as a matter of course.

"Pay?" Kalifa was visibly stunned when she heard the answer. "Pay what?"

"You have to pay for a banquet. It's a natural thing. How can you not pay? I remember I said at that time that all expenses will be paid by me, Master Sa. I announced this to the whole country. You want me not to pay? You're slapping me in the face?" Sag looked back at Khalifa and waved. Lily naturally went to the rest platform in the field, picked up a cigar and handed it to him.

Sager took the cigar and put it in his mouth. He stretched his index finger upwards and a small flame ignited on his finger out of thin air. After lighting the cigar, he exhaled a puff of smoke.

"More than 40 billion, just pay it."

"Boss, I remember your assets weren't that high."

Khalifa pushed her glasses and said, "Are you going to buy it on credit? Besides, I don't quite understand why I have to pay this money."

"Why should I use my assets? I'll use the money in the gold bank to pay off all the people who provide food, cooking and services all over the country."

Sager smiled and said, "I don't have enough money, but the money in the gold shop is my money."

Now not only Kalifa, but even Lily was a little confused.

It's not that I can't understand this sentence, this is what Sage did when he was doing infrastructure construction. It's the current behavior that I can't understand all of a sudden.

Everyone knows that the money in the gold bank belongs to the people but also to Sager. But at the same time, all the products in the territory also belong to him. He uses his own money to distribute it to the people under his rule so that they can reimburse all his materials.
Isn't this unnecessary?

I almost took off my pants to fart.
"You don't understand this?"

Sager chuckled: "It seems that you are using my money to buy my own things, but this out and in are different."

"If it's free, of course they can accept it. After all, I own the land and I am the only one who has the right to rule it. But there is no value in the process. They provide it for free, and I accept it for free. It seems that I am enjoying it, but in fact, I have nothing."

"The people below spent their energy because of the free supply, and the buyers and sellers paid the capital but got nothing. Although you middle-level people followed the order, if it was really for free, you would definitely feel uncomfortable because I am unhappy."

"The reason I'm unhappy at the top is because this is free!"

Sager said: "Money is like waste paper if it is not circulated. Even if the money in the gold bank can be used freely, the premise is that it must be spent. Those are the people's money. We give them their money back, but in their eyes, the money they save is immovable, and the money they give out is what they earn, the reward for hard work and business."

"With compensation, there will be consumption, and production will continue, and people will pay for what is produced. Over time, it will lead to greater prosperity, and I will be able to collect more taxes."

Sager grinned: "Such a good thing, why should it be free? I'm not robbing you."

For their own territory, of course they would try to improve its prosperity, so as to make it easier for outsiders to rob them.

"Um"

Lily nodded thoughtfully: "You have a point, but Sager, the gold bank is running out of money."

"Ok?"

Sager raised an eyebrow, "How can you have no money? Isn't there a lot of money?"

"It's a lot of deposits of almost 300 billion Baileys, but you took out most of it for infrastructure construction, and it will take some time for this part of the money to flow back. The other part is security funds, which cannot be touched."

Lily said, "If we spend another 40 billion in one go, our overall operations will be in trouble. We really have no money now."

They don't print money. When there is only one common currency on the ocean, paper money doesn't even depreciate. It remains the same as it should be and magically becomes hard currency.

So if Sager wants to make money, he still has to do it through trade, or.
“No money.”

He stroked his chin, thought for a while, and said with a smile: "Then let's rob the money!"
